In March of 1999, hundreds of thousands of people around the world received a strange email in their inbox that, unbeknownst to them, would shut down all their online communication for several hours. This new email worm, called "Melissa," would become the worst computer virus in history at that time. Melissa may have been such a strange event in online history, but it was also a lesson for how we should behave on the internet. The story of Melissa all begins with a man named David Lee Smith, a 31-year-old programmer from Aberdeen, New Jersey. Though Smith wasn’t your typical programmer. On top of his advanced computer literacy, he had quite the sense of humor and audacious personality. He was a people person and consequently, leagues ahead of most people in predicting where the internet was heading, and it was reflected in his code. Back in the 90s, the internet was still new to the general public and the many personalities it inhibits today were only just forming. Of course, you had your popular corners of the internet that served their own functions and catered to certain communities, but since this generally new, life-changing technology was still undergoing its growing pains, its primary goal really was to just keep people in constant contact with one another. The privilege of being able to order a pizza with just the single click of a mouse was more than enough. But as people found more uses for the internet, it became not just a place for communicating, but also a place for recreation, fun activities, and for some, an escape to a whole new life. But just like regular life, when there is a lot of good, there is also a lot of bad. The World Wide Web was growing, at a rapid rate, faster than most people could comprehend. The idea of sending a computer virus through email sounds ridiculous…until it actually happens. And from Smith’s understanding of all this, he created “Melissa” to serve as a warning for this impending doom in the hopes that online users could circumvent it.
